Get Rowley on 15 to 1

Our resident Yorkshire Mod, Rowley, has been talking about how much of a fan of 15 to 1 he is. Look:

Rowley wrote:Perhaps says quite a lot about how empty a life I lead but I am ridiculously excited about this (not the celebrity specials). Loved 15 to 1, was about perfect, testing without being ridiculous and plenty of questions rather than pointless filler and "banter".

He really loves it!

When asked if he would apply to appear on the new series, he said this:

Rowley wrote:Doubt it IL, if it is at the same level as the last time am probably not bright enough. Would not humiliate myself but would certainly get nowhere near winning.

He doubts it! That wasn't 'no'!

I reckon he secretly would love to go on. Not even Sandi Toksvig being the new host would put him off.

With this in mind, I think we should show him how much we reckon he should apply. He's The People's Mod. Who wouldn't love to see him on there, answering questions in a Yorkshire accent?

I've set up a poll, where voting 'yes' means you want him to apply. Voting 'no' means you think he shouldn't not. You can vote for up to two answers. Leave a message too, saying why you think he should go on. Consider it like a petition.

We get enough votes, you never know. You only live once, Rowley! Seize the day! Be v2's 15 to 1 representative!

Who voted yes but not no‽

I will respect the will of the people Il. It is democracy in action.

Voted yes. Ive tried to get on pointless in the past but never even got an audition. If convinced myself and my brother could win. Good luck to jeff if he goes on 15-1, I think he would do great.

I also applied for pointless Spencer and have not heard anything, really thought we had a chance as the kid I applied with has a brother who had previously been on but did not do us any good.

It's a great show. Just watching it now. My brother and I know a lot of rubbish on complimentary subjects so I'm a bit gutted we didnt get a chance. I can never understand people choosing things like film on the last round as it is so vague a subject. You gets some right stinker questions

Likewise me and the mate who applied had a decent spread, he knew a lot about clever stuff like US presidents and science and I know a lot of Girls Aloud singles, we pretty much had everything covered.

Haha brilliant jeff!

I voted "yes", if there was a "resounding yes" I would have voted for that. Be careful of concentrating too much on one topic when you brush up beforehand. I was in a pub quiz recently where I had countries ending in "istan" covered and it never came up.

I revised US presidents for Pointless appearance that is seemingly never going to happen. Honestly, in what situation ever is knowing Calvin Coolidge was the 30th US president ever going to be useful?

If you ever have a mid-life crisis and want to bag yourself a 19 year old page 3 stunner. They love that kind of stuff.

That and african capital cities and you have scored.

Just had to jump aboard the 'applied for Pointless but haven't heard anything' bandwagon. Sport and chemistry would be destroyed, but anything remotely art based would result in blank looks. Tremendous show though.

15-1 is a bit beyond me though, not sure there would be much on women's cricket. Right behind the campaign to get Rowley on though.

I think we can safely say the public has spoken jeff. Time to apply.

I thought Deal or No Deal would have been a good one to go on, a few years back. The questions were pretty easy. Always wondered how long people had to stay there for, and if they were taking time off work etc. Found the FAQs on the DOND website.

Q6. How many shows do you film a day?
Some contestants seem to be on the show for a long time, do all these people take over a month off work?
We film 3/4 shows a day, 5 days a week for two weeks at a time. We film 15 shows a week. We do ask for a commitment for up to four weeks. Lucy Harrington attended a record breaking 50 shows our longest and one of our most loved contestants.

Q11. How do you find contestants that can take so much time off?
People are really committed to the show. They sacrifice their holidays; they turn down work if they are self- employed. We have even had a few contestants that have given up their jobs to be on the show!

Sod that.

Deal or No Deal annoys me enormously, no questions. Also would not want to be so close to Edmonds who is just odd. My old man met him once and he was apparently a right bell end.

Who would you rather meet, CJ or Noel?

I am booked in for a tattoo next year super, think the mid life crisis ship has already sailed.

Would rather meet Az and Truss than the pair of them Tina. Actually, getting a 606 team to go on eggheads is not a bad idea.

I couldn't be part of it. I am too thick and would end up punching CJ as soon as I met him.

I think you and Julius would be perfect for it though.

I'd be quite good, I know the countries beginning with "U", the countries ending in "istan" and the scientific name of the cheetah.

Galted wrote:I'd be quite good, I know the countries beginning with "U",

There really are not too many to remember are there.

Uganda.

Uzbekistan.

I'm stuck. I'd be good on insect questions though.

I'd be up for it. The only show I'd avoid is University Challenge (a bit too old to qualify anyway) - some seriously obscure stuff on that.

USA and Uruguay as well Tina, would guess the UAE would qualify as well, kind of an occupational hazard for me knowing these.

USA
UK
UAE
Ukraine

Of course Rowley should apply. Go on, make South Yorkshire proud!

What about United Kingdom? Or do we have to split that up?

Julius would be better on Weakest Link, I could picture him gettiing Anne Robinson slippery and blushing with his innuendos and witticisms though I'd far prefer not to.

Nope sorry Galted, that country doesn't exist.

Hope that that's the right laughing emoticon, can't see the c*nts and know how you feel about "LOL".

Perfect mate.

Just glad someone picked up on the subtle humour.

He'd be 15 to 1 to win it.......

Damn that one person that has stopped the vote currently standing at 15 to 1!!! 15 to 2 doesn't have the same ring

Some idiot on pointless tonight thought ricky Gervais was in the star wars films!

If it is 52/48 then I would just forget about that vote

This is a very old thread. Mind you, a 606v2 team on Eggheads is a good idea. Though we'd have to explain where we all met, and I can imagine Jeremy Vine sneering at us.

We all sneer at you anyway, Duty, so what is one more person. What would your specialist subject be? I'm going to have to stick with insects.

Fairly certain Derek must be an old poster. You wouldn't resurrect this thread without actively searching it out. Could actually be Geoff/Jeff Rowley (pronounced Rowley) himself. Wouldn't put it past him.

I don't mind being sneered at by you wonderful lot, but Vine is another matter. My specialist subject would probably be best saved for Mastermind.

Rowley is now the Met Police Commissioner, so he's far too busy to go around resurrecting old threads.

Not JR though.Just a minor poster with little cache'.
It's nice to wrap myself in the nostalgia of 2013, back when we were all happy but didn't realise it

Reminds me of that clip, not sure what show it was, when a woman was asked which Dutch city was the international capital of peace and justice.

She said that the only Dutch cities she knew were Belgium and Bruges and went for Belgium.

She then groaned 'oh no' in an 'he's got it' sort of way when her opponent opted for Geneva.

That’s a Tipping Point special. Along with two contestants thinking Homer Simpson was the same Homer who wrote the Iliad.

They make David Lammy's Mastermind appearance look the work of a genius.
